A Day For Hamilton

Monday will be Richard Hamilton Day in his hometown of Coatesville, Pa.

Hamilton, who led UConn to the national championship nearly two months ago, will be given a key to the city. Presentations will be made by state senators and his high school jerseywill be retired.

Hamilton, who decided to forgo his senior season to enter the NBA draft, is expected to be selected early in the first round next month. He averaged 21.5 points in leading UConn to a school-best 34-2 record and scored 27 points in the 77-74 victory over Duke in the national championship game March 29.
